Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue
Written in 1924 for piano and jazz band, this one-movement masterpiece is probably Gershwin's most famous piece. It was orchestrated by Ferde Grofe. Gershwin also wrote versions for solo piano and for two pianos.
George Gershwin (1898 - 1937) was an American composer. He used jazz and classical styles to write popular songs, classical music, and music for theater and films. His talented brother Ira was often his lyricist.
George Gershwin's compositions have been used in numerous films and on television, and many have become jazz standards. His Porgy and Bess (1935) is widely regarded as the most important American opera of the twentieth century.
